tentacles

Nice lighting, shadow and effect.

Best regards

To me this is photography and atmosphere in a soft yet contemporary display. The subtlety of color, the blurred radiating light, the barely visible focal point and the depth of the foreground shadow that still feel like an element, even a cushion. I think this is a pretty loose shot, meaning you seem loose in your approach and vision. It has a lot of movement and holds together yet without being strict. It feels candid, has the sense of a glance.

Schwanke zwischen märchenhaft und Tatort. Auf jeden Fall toll!

many thanks for your comments and thoughts - which to me opened a different view on my photo - initially I only considered it being sinister, the light turning the branches of the tree into tentacles... but I see now, there's another angle to it - like stephanie and Franz remarked. @Fred: while my initial impulse was indeed the glance noticing the shadows, it took me several attempts to find the right position and viewpoint to get to a satisfactory result - and I'm happy that the final photo does not carry any of the trial-and-error ballast.
